—18 #x% HE EVENING STAR, WASHI) AF LWLLFORN NEWSPAPERUNIN But Green to Wait for Guild’s Referendum on C. I. 0. Before Starting. ‘While William Green and Heywood Broun, presidents of the American Federation of Labor and the American Newspaper Guild, respectively, con- tinued calling each other names, all central labor unions of the A. F. of L. were being supplied today with appli- cation blanks and charter forms for organizing new unions of editorial workers throughout the country. In Washington, as in other cities, ft was announced that the actual drive to establish the contemplated unions is being held up pending de- cisions of the guild units as to whether they will support guild convention action for affiliation with the C. I. O. or will remain affiliated with the A. | F.of L. In its early stages, it was an- nounced, the A. F. of L. drive would get up what they classify as federal unjons. When sufficient number of | these are organized they would then become part of the American Federa- tion of Newspaper Correspondents. Frank J. Coleman, chairman of the Washington Central Labor Union, said he already had received numerous in- quiries and pledges of support for the oew union and that he is merely await- ing the action of the local guild before making further plans, The local guild is now on record in favor of a na- tional referendum on questions of affil- fation with the C. I. O. and broaden- ing the jurisdiction of the guild to in- clude business office and circulation | workers as well as editorial employes. | The contemplated A. F. of L. union | would take in only editorial workers.

Broun Replies to Charge He's a “Com- munist Stooge.” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. July 20.—William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, is described by Heywood Broun., president of the American Newspaper Guild, as the “greatest single obstacle in the path of the labor movement.” The New York newspaper columnist made the statement yesterday in a counter-attack against the federation head, who had asserted Broun was a “Communist stooge” in a verbal vol- ley he fired at the guild's switch from the federation to the C. I. O. | Broun said he favored an immedi- ate referendum vote of the “rank and file membership” of the guild on | whether the organization should re- main with the C. L. O. | The switch to the C. I. O. was voted | by delegates at the National Guild | convention in St. Louis recently. The convention also indorsed the Spanish loyalist cause. Broun expressed personal approval | of the Spanish resolution because “I feel that trade unionists cannot af- ford to remain indifferent to the fate of trade unionists in other parts of the world.” “However,” the state- ment added, “we must remember our | main objective, and that is to stay in the C. 1. O, Replying to Green's accusation that he was selling newspaper men “down the river.” the portly columnist said ‘T would like to thank him (Green) for clarifying the questions on which the American Newspaper Guild is about to vote. He has stated the issue eorrectly—it is Green or the guild.” PUBLISHERS ARGUE ON GUILD. | Association Debates Whether to Fight Its Closed Shop.
